Lower East Side Story #3

"Lower East Side Story is the story of the intense
bonds and strains of unlikely friendships and relationships between
several young new yorkers, set in post-bankrupt New York, 1979.
Snapshots follows a 25 year arc, as the East Village evolves from a
drug dealers battlefield to a developers gold mine. In the 1980’s
profound instability was caused by the abandonment of landlords and
city government, and the relentless onslaught of drug dealers claimming
building after building and block after block. In addition, the
community fabric was nearly rendered irrepairable by the dual invasion
of GRID, ( Gay-related immune deficiency, later known as AIDS ) and
crack cociane.

Despite these catastrophic circumstances, Lower East Side Story follows
a small ensemble of proud immigrants, native new yorkers, young
students and old community activists work to retake and rebuild the war
zone.

It is against this backdrop that Lower East Side Story unfolds.
In addition to the main action and love story, Snapshots reveals the
political and economic machinations of the collapse and rehabilitation
of a neighborhood and it’s people."
